      [PATCH] lockdep: annotate the quota code · 5c81a419
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      The quota code plays interesting games with the lock ordering; to quote Jan:
      
      | i_mutex of inode containing quota file is acquired after all other
      | quota locks. i_mutex of all other inodes is acquired before quota
      | locks. Quota code makes sure (by resetting inode operations and
      | setting special flag on inode) that noone tries to enter quota code
      | while holding i_mutex on a quota file...
      
      The good news is that all of this special case i_mutex grabbing happens in the
      (per filesystem) low level quota write function.  For this special case we
      need a new I_MUTEX_* nesting level, since this just entirely outside any of
      the regular VFS locking rules for i_mutex.  I trust Jan on his blue eyes that
      this is not ever going to deadlock; and based on that the patch below is what
      it takes to inform lockdep of these very interesting new locking rules.
      
      The new locking rule for the I_MUTEX_QUOTA nesting level is that this is the
      deepest possible level of nesting for i_mutex, and that this only should be
      used in quota write (and possibly read) function of filesystems.  This makes
      the lock ordering of the I_MUTEX_* levels:
      
      I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL -> I_MUTEX_QUOTA
      
      Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

      [PATCH] percpu counter data type changes to suppport more than 2**31 ext3 free blocks counter · 0216bfcf
      Mingming Cao 提交于
      The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support
      more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks
      total in the filesystem.
      
      - Generic perpcu counters data type changes.  The size of the global counter
        and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32.  The global
        counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from
        long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases.
      
      - Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new
        percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow
        users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry · 726c3342
      David Howells 提交于
      Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
      pointer.
      
      This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of
      sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there.  However, NFS does
      require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
      the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.
      
      linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
      successfully.
      
      Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      Alex Tomas 提交于
      Under I/O load it may take up to a dozen seconds to read all group
      descriptors.  This is what ext3_statfs() does.  At the same time, we already
      maintain global numbers of free inodes/blocks.  Why don't we use them instead
      of group reading and summing?

      [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems · 4b6a9316
      Paul Jackson 提交于
      Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
      memory spreading.
      
      If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
      in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
      from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
      memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
      allocation on the node local to the current cpu.
      
      The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:
      
          file                               cache

      The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
      those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
      inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
      though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
      potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
      spreading.
      
      Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
      SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
      the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
      Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
      slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.
